Building the Nest

[Harold Davis]

i havent posted a pic in a while cause i been too busy at work to actually make a photograph!! so i dug through the archives and found one i dont think i ever posted. taken at wako on the backside at the nesting area.

D300, Bigma at 135mm, f/5.6, 1/1000s, 0EV, ISO 200

as always, thanks for looking and comments and critiques are appreciated!!

I like it!!! A lot! Eye contact, sharp,nice wings. Whites on face look a little hot maybe and the one wing tips fades some into the pines..Bet you could lighten that just a tich?

Very cool image Mr H

[Bruce Gove]

Nicely done Mr. Harold,
I like the wing position and the good eye contact. the details in the wings are dead on. and great exposure...:cool:

[Desmond Chan]

Nice and sharp with lots of details. Good colors to boot. Well done !

[Nicki Gwynn Jones]

Very nice Mr H!!! - Fond memories of Wako....

Hi Harold - nice capture so lucky to be able to access this type behaviour.

Agree with Nonda about the wing tip, On my monitor it looks a little dark, what were the lighting conditions?

:)

[Harold Davis]

it was 4:30pm and borderline sweet light. maybe a tad still harsh, therefore i was compensating for the lighter areas on the head and the other parts turned out a little dark. it could be easily corrected cause i havent touched it at all.

thanks for all the comments. which wing are you talking about? the right or the left? they obviously look good on mine.

Great capture my friend. Excellent composition and very sharp.
Missed you yesterday

[Lance Peters]

Hi Harold - the right one - easy fix - well done.

[Alberto Oria]

Mr H, very good exposition, composition, detail and sharpness. I like the image very much.
PS we missed you yesterday

Hi Harold, it looks like you caught this at just the right moment while he was still infront of that nice background with enough contrast for the nesting branch visibility. I like it.
